Opilkobeton is one ofvarieties of lightweight concrete, which have a low density. The following advantages are attributed to this building material: fire resistance, environmental safety, durability, frost resistance, thermal performance, affordable cost, vapor permeability.
You can make opilkobeton own hands.This will require a specific set of components. The advantage of the materials that are part of opilkobetona is that they do not need to be harvested in advance. All that is required is available in hardware stores or markets. By harvesting it is possible to start the day before the start of work.
To make opilkobeton do it yourself,It is necessary to mix the components. This is a fairly time-consuming process, so it is advisable to use a concrete mixer. First you need to pass dried sawdust through a sieve, its cells must be 10x10 millimeters. After that, mix sawdust with cement and sand. In the next step, add the lime or earthen dough to the mixture, and then mix everything again thoroughly.
In the mixture through the watering cangradually add water, and the mixture should be stirred after each topping up. In the case of the correct preparation of the mixture when it is squeezed in a fist, a plastic lump should form, where there will be visible dents from the fingers, and there are no water droplets. It is on this basis that the readiness of the composition is determined. Then you can form it in blocks. Linger in this matter is not worth it, because the mixture begins to harden literally after an hour and a half. When laying in the form it should be thoroughly tamped, since the presence of air is unacceptable.
If you decide to do opilkobeton do it yourself,then you should know what sizes the blocks should be. There is a direct dependence on the thickness of the walls, the width of the openings and walls, the method of laying and other factors. It is quite convenient to build a house of blocks with your own hands, while the width of the walls or the length of the wall section should be a multiple of the size of the blocks. In terms of thickness, they are usually equal to two thicknesses of red brick, taking into account the solution laid between them.
Opilkobeton do it yourself enoughlong, especially if molded into blocks of large sizes. The acceleration of the process is ensured by the holes made, thanks to which its heat insulating properties are improved. Of these materials, we build their own hands. When the blocks are cast, the form is not immediately removed from them, but after 3-5 days. In order to speed up the creation of the required number of blocks, many forms should be made to mold building materials continuously. Forms must be detachable, which allows you to assemble and disassemble them as quickly as possible. In the process of drying, the shrinkage of the blocks is observed, therefore, the shapes are made larger than necessary. The difference is about ten percent.
As you can see, there is no particular difficulty in the independent production of this building material.
